4. Quadrilateral ROPQ is inscribed in a circle. Show all work on no credit. Find x and y. What is the measure of each angle of quadrilateral EFGH? What is the measure of arc HF?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

x = 55, y = 60
E = 70°, F = 120°, G = 110°, H = 60°
arcHF = 140°

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The sum of opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral is 180°. This lets us use angles E and G to solve for x:

(x+15) + (2x) = 180

3x + 15 = 180 . . .simplify

x +5 = 60 . . . . . divide by 3

x = 55 . . . . . . . . subtract 5

Similarly, we can use angles F and H to solve for y:

(3y -60) + (y) = 180

4y -60 = 180 . . . . simplify

y -15 = 45 . . . . . . divide by 4

y = 60 . . . . . . . . . add 15

___

b) Then the measures of the angles are ...

G = 2x = 2·55 = 110

E = 180 -G = 70

H = y = 60

F = 180 -H = 120

The angle measures are ...

m∠E = 70°, m∠F = 120°, m∠G = 110°, m∠H = 60°

___

c) short arc HF is intercepted by inscribed angle E, so the arc will have twice the measure of the angle.

arc HF = 2·m∠E = 140°

_____

Comment on the problem

Throughout, the only relation being used is that the measure of an arc is twice the measure of the inscribed angle intercepting it. For opposite angles of the quadrilateral, the sum of the two intercepted arcs is 360° (the whole circle), so the sum of the two angles is 180°.

What are the coordinates of the vertices of the image after a 90-degree counter-clockwise rotation about the origin?
(2,3)
(-3,-1)
(2, -1)

Answers

The coordinates of the vertices of the image after the 90-degree counter- clockwise rotation about the origin is :

( - 3, 2 )
( 1, -3 )
( 1, 2 )

How to rotate 90-degree counter- clockwise rotation about the origin?

To perform a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin, follow these steps:

Write down the coordinates of the point you want to rotate. Let's call the point ( x , y).
To perform a counterclockwise rotation, switch the x and y-coordinates and negate the new x-coordinate. The new coordinates will be ( - y , x).

This means that the vertices will become :

( 2 , 3) ⇒ ( - 3, 2 )

( - 3, -1) ⇒ ( 1, -3 )

( 2, - 1) ⇒ ( 1, 2 )
